Susan Kliewer is not only a Buckaroo, having appeared with us in several films and commercials, but is a nationally known sculptor. Her medium is bronze and we are proud to present her work to the discriminating Western art collector.
 
 

The horse Peaches was used by fellow Buckaroo Sam Dolan in Tombstone and many commercials. The saddle is a Frank Costanza Texas Hope (see our Saddle section). Susan made the bronze from photos taken on the set. A special addition to your Tombstone collection.
 
 

The warrior waits and listens. He�s not sure for what. Will it be pony soldiers approaching? The crunch of wagon wheels on the hard, grassy ground or the distant rumble of countless buffalo hooves on the vast plains beyond the next rise? Or is it just the silence?
 
 

I t was chuck-time on the round up, and we heard the Pot Wrangler shout, "You�d better come and get this or I�ll throw the whole thing out." So we headed for the wagon like a wild stampeding herd. Fearful every minute lest the cook might keep his word.
 
 

The "Chicken Pull" is an old game. As Navajos had few chickens, a burlap sack was used as a substitute. The riders lean from the saddle to grab the exposed corner of the buried burlap sack and a free-for-all ensues. The Navajo people love these games, with plenty of side bets and wild horsemanship.
 
 

The Navajo have related the story of Changing Women for generations. Born of the mingling of darkness and dawn, she was adopted by First Man and First Woman. When she reached maturity four days after birth, her parents arranged a Kinaalda, a Coming of Age ceremony. The direct translation of Changing, Woman's Navajo name is "Woman She Becomes Time and Again," indicating the perpetual cycle that is celebrated at every Kinaalda.
 
 

AROUND A.D. 1090 - A.D. 1450, THE SINAGUA PEOPLE LIVED IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ARIZONA.

DESPITE THEIR NAME, WHICH MEANS "WITHOUT WATER" IN SPANISH, THE SINAGUA HAD WATER IN ABUNDANCE AND WERE SUCCESSFUL FARMERS,

ARTISANS AND TRADERS. HOWEVER, IN A.D. 1450, THE SINAGUA DISAPPEARED FROM ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD. THE MYSTERY OF WHERE THEY

WENT MAY NEVER BE SOLVED.

Note: A lifesize version is available for $55,000.00.
 
 

"In 1863 The United States Govn't sent Kit Carson and an army of seven hundred well armed men into the Navajo country~to force the Dine'to surrender to military rule. The Navajo were sent to Bosque Redondo, where Fort Sumner was built. I was inspired by several old photographs taken of the Navajo women at the that, time. They seem to capture the strength and endurance of the Navajo people during that dark period in American history."

Canyon de Chelly The Long Walk

Ganado Mucho, a Navajo chief captive at Fort Sunmer, asking for the return of his people to the Dine Bikeyah.

"Let us go home to our mountains.

Let us see our flocks feeding in the valleys, and let us ride again where we can smell the sage and know of the hidden hogans by the smell of pinon smoke.

Let us go where we can build our homes in solitude and privacy and live again as men, not animals.

Let us be free to build a better way of life and learn to live in peace where the red buttes rise from the desert sands, and eagles sweep across the sky ....

Here we have nothing. Our children grow up in ugliness and death.

Let us go home."

At dawn on June 18, 1868 the Navajos left Fort Sumner, heading back to the Dine Bikeyah.

Many years later, an old Navajo chief recalled that moment: "When we saw the top of the mountain from Albuquerque we wondered if it was our mountain, and we felt like talking to the ground, we loved it so. "

"A Nation is not defeated until the hearts of their women are beaten."
